inhales and gets back to business
I love fall. Or autumn - whatever you want to call it, I love it. One of the best things about having to "go to the office" every day (not this species' natural habitat) is my view. My office is on the second floor and my windows face an apartment building - makes for interesting (read "can't help but peek into other people's lives") times when I'm here late at night during the winter time and there are no leaves on the trees that line the building.
But back to my point - those leaves!! There is a long line of trees that fill my view from the window in my office, and I get to watch all four seasons unfold and fold again throughout the year. I love it. So now, the leaves are beginning their transformation from spring and summer green to fall's auburns, oranges and fiery yellows. My favorite are the maple leaves that turn dark burgundy/aubergine - LOVE IT! And the leaves that are multi-colored, like yellow fringed in red - they look almost translucent. FANTASTIC!
I think this means we need to find a weekend during which we can go camping just one more time!! Although it doesn't look likely since EVERY weekend this month is filled with meetings, a girl can dream, can she not?

I love how if you sqint, you can see this awesome red-green rainbow gradient in those trees. We better enjoy it while it lasts, you know?
